Frontend Engineer

Start Date: 2013-01-01End Date: 2015-04-13

Over a period of nine months I designed and built a Gmail-esqe app which allows Stratfor's analysts to collaborate on incoming news stories in real-time. This Angular.js front-end is served by a RESTful API built on top of Stratfor's existing Drupal production system. Twitter's Bootstrap framework accelerated prototyping and delivery. A Twisted WebSockets back-end allows analysts to simultaneously edit a given story. As the sole developer on this project I worked independently and under minimal oversight.

Web Developer

Start Date: 2008-01-01

After moving to Austin I joined Pixeldust as their lead graphic designer. My responsibilities ranged from website wire- frames and build-outs to 3D animation, video editing, and custom software development. Among my clients were Sun Microsystems, Johnson Controls, University of Texas Austin, Texas DOT, and local advertising agency GSD&M. During my year and a half at Pixeldust I also helped to update its infrastructure by introducing new user interface technologies, replacing proprietary systems with open source alternatives, and promoting modern web best practices.

I am a full time student at Arizona State University. I am enrolled in the Bachelor of Computer Science (Software Engineering) program at the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering. I intend to work in the software industry after obtaining my degree.

To understand one’s person, it isn't only necessary to understand his professional acumen and achievements, but, his greater make-up as well. In 2015 I will have been involved in the computer technologies industry at a professional capacity for over 25 years! Fortunately, I continue to feel lucky to have been afforded numerous opportunities that empower me to evolved my childhood computer hobby, or addiction, into a fruitful and rewarding career. I have far too many to thank for that here. Growing up as an often bored kid out “in the sticks” of rural Western New York, I found my desire to utilize computer technologies to improve process, better communicate, entertain myself, impress people, or just stimulate my mind constructively led me to simply know what I wanted to do with my life relatively early on to the utter contentment of the guidance staff of my high school. Growing up “country”, also allowed me to acquire a healthy balance that my father would be proud to know that I now recognize and still appreciate today. Thanks Dad! There are wondrous things outdoors too you know... Fast forward to now and I still continue to feel fortunate to be in a position in life that I am able to enjoy putting into practice the myriad of technical and people skills that I've accumulated over these years in the industry for solid organizations. For now, there is no end in sight!… How did I end up here? Once the internet was catching on in the early 90’s and I saw sundry “non-geeks” rabidly embracing what we “geeks” knew beforehand as a online bulletin boards, I knew this is what I had to continue to do in some form or fashion. My background of simplifying complicated technical solutions and empowering people with technical tools in a manner that could be utilized by even people that didn't share my same passion for all things computer and technology proved very rewarding for me on a personal level and thus I was hooked right then and forward…
